Parking under the sun vs under a tree

[mac103]

Which is better for our car's exterior? Parking under the sun or parking under a tree (with free twigs, leaves, and bird droppings after 1 workday)?

Where I work, there are no alternatives other than open parking.
In other forums (abroad), they recommend parking under the sun but I'm not sure if this applies here in our tropical heat.

Ok lang under the sun as long na protected ang paint, trims, interior mo. Kung ang tao nag susunblock, ang kotse din.

Ako kasi mas gusto ko under the sun kasi gamit ko naman eh wax na may uv protection, may microtex sunshield din ako for interior and trims.

Kaso yung erpats ko ang hilig ipark sa ilalim ng puno ng mangga, result: dahon, bird bombs, dagta, at kung anu-ano pang insekto.

given a choice, i'd park in the shade during the daytime and in the open air at night.
but we have to remember, the shade under the tree moves with time..

Dati gusto ko under the tree, Na realize ko na mas ok ang sa araw kasi kapag under the tree nakakagasgas pa ng pintura yung mga nalalag na dahon, sanga at poop ng ibon.. At sabi nila hindi naman daw basta basta masisira yung pintura kahit nakabilad sa araw. :-)

+1 sir. lalo na ung mga poopoo ng ibon. ang titigas pa minsan nakadikit sa car paint mo.

under the sun for me!

bird poop and dagta ng puno etches the clear coat. Once it's there and baked, it would be hard to remove. Malas mo pa kapag bumagyo at nabagsakan ka ng puno. Maari pang matotal wreck kotse mo.

bird poop if not cleaned right away, might ruin the paint, same goes for tree saps... under the sun for me

by the way there is this solar powered exhaust being sold anyone tried it?

I'll park under the tree anytime. If the paint is protected anyway with wax and whatnot, any bird droppings or tree sap can be washed off easily.

Worst case, I'd rather have small, almost imperceivable blemishes than have the paint fade. Wax will not eliminate paint fade. It might slow it down but if you park in the sun everyday, it will likely be of little help.

Also, I hate entering a car that's been parked in the sun for a long time. It's like a blast furnace.

Parang madaling ma-luma at mag-crack ang mga trim kapag bilad sa araw lalo na yung sa gilid ng bubong yung parang rubber

Depends on the type of tree. From my experience before, parking under a tree doesn't always get bird droppings or sap anyway (i get more bird droppings from my awning at home where some birdies live). What i avoid are trees with small leaves and little fruits that fall all day; you can tell by the surroundings before you park anyway.
I'd prefer a tree shade over the sun.
